Default Compbrake lower arms

Evening gents,

Wondering if anyone here has fitted some of these?

Didn't come with fitting instructions and where the rose joint fits to the chassis there is two spacer/sleeves, one is short and one is long, obviously dependant on which way round you put them (long one at front end of car,short towards rear) it changes the position of the arm,

I've tried looking for pics on here for reference but not had much luck and not sure if there's a wrong or right way?!

Cheers!

Compbrake sell them for £129.99,, downside is you can replace the rose joint if it goes but if the ball joint goes i guess you would have to buy new arms? Not sure if you can press them out or anything?

Yes you do. You need to drill it to 1/2" BSP
